Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care
Funding and Budgeting of Mental Health Services: Health Service Executive
2:00 pm
Ms Anne O'Connor:
It is important to say that we are looking at our agencies. Our interest is in growing services, not organisations, so if an existing organisation is seeking funding we look at how its service delivery fits with the overall objectives for mental health, and we have a service arrangement with every organisation. If there is a need for additional funding, it is discussed through that process. That is an accountability measure in terms of how and what we fund and how we monitor what organisations are spending their money on.
